Report: Joshua Cribbs fails Cardinals physical

For those who were counting on Joshua Cribbs becoming the latest member of the Arizona Cardinals — not so fast.

According to a report from Will Burge of ESPN Cleveland, the two-time Pro Bowl kick returner failed his physical during a free agent visit with Arizona.

ESPN Cleveland has learned from multiple sources that the delay in Cribbs signing is because he failed his physical with the Cardinals on Monday. It is unclear at this time what may have been the cause of the failed physical and if this will deter Arizona from signing the nine year NFL veteran.

Cribbs’ agent, J.R. Rickert, confirmed the report to USA Today. Cribbs had off-season surgery on his knee and isn’t fully recovered according to Rickert, who also believes the Cardinals will administer another physical examination on his client in a few weeks.
